RhoDeo 1309 Goldy Rhox 98


Hello, today the 98th post of GoldyRhox, classic pop rock, in the darklight an English rock supergroup founded in 1973, consisting of two former Free band members—singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke—as well as Mott the Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs and King Crimson bassist Boz Burrell. Peter Grant, who, in years prior, was a key component of fellow British rock band Led Zeppelin's rise to fame, managed the band. They enjoyed great success throughout the 1970s. Many of their singles, such as "Bad Company", "Can't Get Enough", "Good Lovin' Gone Bad", and "Feel Like Makin' Love", retain popularity with rockers of both the past and present decades. To this day, their songs remain staples of classic rock radio.

Despite being famous for their live shows packing the largest stadiums for almost a decade, Bad Company did not release an official live album of performances from this time period until the 2006 album Live in Albuquerque 1976.

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accommodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Today's mystery album was released on 26 June 1974 and is the eponymous debut studio album of today's band, it was recorded at Headley Grange with Ronnie Lane's Mobile Studio in November 1973. The album exemplified raw rock & roll at its best. Erupting out of an experimental period created by the likes of Pink Floyd, this signified a return to more primal, stripped-down rock & roll. Even while labelmates Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy and IV featured highly acclaimed, colorful album artwork, today's mystery album  austere black and white record cover stood out in stark contrast.

The album reached the top of the Billboard 200 charts. Since then, the album was certified five times platinum by the RIAA, and became the 46th best selling album of the 1970s. It spent 25 weeks in the UK Albums Chart, entering at #10 and reaching its highest position of #3 in the second week.
